    Default Reply Template

    For Communication Panel, use this setting to define:

    • a signature template for agents to use when they create an outgoing email using this queue as the sender address.
    • a template for agents to use when they create an outgoing SMS or WhatsApp message using this queue as the sender address.
    • a default response, such as a greeting, to an accepted chat conversation. You can define that the response is sent automatically when a chat conversation is accepted. Define this in User and Role Management > User Settings Template > Communication Panel Settings > Automate Sending First Chat Response.

    The template list displays all reply templates in the system.

    To have the template available in Communication Panel, do the following in Queue Management > Reply Templates for the folder where the template is located:

    • Add the queue to the Queues assignment block.

    • Add the users, user role or user group to the Access Rights assignment block

    To create a new template, see Managing Reply Templates.

    Handling Time Limit

    Communication Panel

    If you want agents to see a timer per conversation from this queue, enter a limit for the recommended handling time of a conversation. The agent can see the conversation timer that shows the duration of the current conversation. The timer changes color based on the handling time limit:

    • When 75% of the time has passed, the timer changes from grey to orange.

    • When the handling time has passed, the timer changes from orange to red.

    If you do not define a handling time, the agent does not see a conversation timer in conversations from this queue.

    Read more about timers in the Communication Panel document.
